✅ What You Get
This retainer keeps AI, Copilot and data governance moving in the real world — not sitting in a folder. You get a steady cadence of oversight, decisions, assurance, and unblock support that helps teams adopt safely and deliver measurable progress.
Monthly Governance Cadence
- Governance rhythm (monthly cycle with clear actions and owners)
- SteerCo pack (agenda, decisions required, risks, progress updates)
- Decision tracking and follow-through across stakeholders
Risk & Assurance Guidance
- Controls guidance (what “good” looks like, minimum viable standards)
- DPIA / AI risk approach support for priority use cases
- Audit readiness support (evidence, logs, documentation discipline)
Delivery Steering & Unblock
- Stakeholder alignment across IT, Security, IG/DPO, HR, Legal and Ops
- Issue resolution and escalation where accountability is unclear
- Metrics and accountability for adoption (progress you can evidence)
🔐 Who It’s For

🗓️ How the Retainer Works
Month 0: Onboarding (one-off)
